Not so much a flaw with the Bosch active motor then, more a lack of routine maintenance. To have two stays come adrift at the same time probably means they have been working loose for some time. The sort of thing that can happen on any bike especially after 2500km

If it was where I worked, I make an effort to find the owner or atleast attach a small note to there padlock

I hope you were kind enough to seek out the owner and inform them of there error. Or are you just going to wait untill it's stolen so you can say "I just new that would happen" Where I use to work that happened (just a lock around the front wheel) and it was stolen but also a well locked bike...

Whilst it's in my locked garage I use a kryptonite "D" lock & wall Anchor, at work a heavyweight chain & lock ( I work in converted farm buildings up a private road in the countryside ) The rest of the time I'm riding it, occasionally I do stop for refreshments, then I use a 1meter light cable...

All of them No but seriously, there's no " best mode " I'm up and down modes all the while, sports and turbo for pulling away in traffic, tour, eco and off if I'm enjoying a slower leasurly bimble around country lanes and when I'm on bridalways I might be using tour and sport. It all depends on...

So I took the bike over to the shop, as you might expect it didn't clunk no matter how hard I tried ;) My backlash is no better or worse than another new cube/bosh in the showroom, Anywho I left the bike with them for a day just too have a look see. 24 hrs later a few nuts tightened, fittings...

Well I've done 203 happy miles, but now the bike has a clunk when riding bumpy trails and there's backlash going from freewheeling to drive with an audible clunk that wasn't there when I first got the bike :( I'll be visiting the shop tomorrow (Monday) :rolleyes:

Where did that comment come from :confused: you must have forgotten to take your meds today ? Me thinks your delusional. I have the one ebike and one analog bike built from spare parts and eBay bits.

Forget the 3 year old comparison, the Bosch motor in question is an older active 1st generation, E bike technology is moving on real fast these days, Bosch are now on there 3rd generation motor, still called active line & active line plus but totaly different animals.

Hi Shurm, good choice :cool: I have the same, but in green because I'm 56 and not sensible (when you get to our age you can get what you want, not worry what others may think) ;) I picked nine up at the beginning of the month and with today's planed ride I should pass the 200 mile marker :)

Same idea as the timber trail bell ! https://www.cyclorise.com/store/p2/Timber-Mountain-Bike-Bell-MTB

Humm it's been over 7 months since my last ride on my 2014 active line cube. Put me on the spot and I'd struggle to tell the difference in power, neither motor left me wanting more, however the new motor just feals nicer to ride.

I sure did buy one and I don't regret it one bit:cool: It arrived just a few weeks ago, I've covered 130 miles so far and loving it :) Easy to ride motor off and with the motor on there's a smooth transition comming off power at cut off speed (without the internal drag of the CX motor :oops:)...

"Bad back" me too, I have two bulging discs so know first hand the benefits of a NCX seat-post. Get yourself comfortable and 35 miles will seem like a good warm up ;)

Full sus is overkill for what you want it for. I'd say the only upgrade you need is a NCX seat-post:cool: I have two and wouldn't ride a bike without one ;)

New this weekend my Cube acid one 500 from Rutland cycles (Pitsford) the first thing you notice is how green it is in the flesh, in your face GREEN but that's cool as its not a dull bike. Despite the 6 month wait ( cubes fault not the shop) and my personal situation, I'm very pleased with the...

I'll second the vote for big apples. Already have 2.1" on my analog bike and this very afternoon I'm about to put a pr of 2.5" apples on my new digital bike ( cube acid one 500 :cool:)

Thanks for the kind words folks, He went through a bad time when he lost his wife ( my mother ) 22 years ago, I moved in with him back then to help him through it and since then we have been best mates, sharing life's ups and downs together, quite a void in my life now.

This is not a dig at any store, just me cursing fate. Sold my e-cube last December as I'd ordered the new Cube acid one 500, expected delivery in January. A run of bad weather, car trouble and ill health ( both myself and my father, 82 years ) meant I wasn't too fussed when the manufactures...
